"Bang!"
Queen Mother He's words made Li Ru furious.
This woman is not an idiot. How could she not know what is in this drink?
Now let yourself drink together, it is obvious that you are procrastinating and don't want to die.
So isn't this a lack of cooperation?
After slamming the table, Li Ru raised his eyebrows and his eyes shot out with endless fierce light.
Staring at Queen Mother He fiercely, he gritted his teeth and said, "Don't be so shameless!"
"Give you a decent way to die and let you drink this glass of wine obediently. This is the greatest kindness Mr. Dong can give you."
"If you don't feel decent, then I can help you look decent today."
After saying that, Li Ru turned around and took out the long sword from his waist, and at the same time reached into his pocket with his left hand.
Accompanied by the harsh sound of a sharp blade rubbing against the scabbard, a pale plain white silk lay quietly on the ground.
"Either I drink the poisoned wine, and I can die with my whole body intact, and my death will look better!"
"Either there is a white blade or a white silk, two things for you to choose at will, but at that time, the head was in a different place, the ax was added to the body, and the death was miserable. Don't blame me for not showing any mercy beforehand!"
Li Ru's words shocked everyone.
The three people, including Queen Mother He, turned pale, and layers of cold sweat began to break out on their foreheads.
Although Li Ru only drew the dagger from his waist to threaten in order to keep it secret, no one could ignore that there was a group of armored soldiers downstairs.
Once Li Ru ignored him and called those soldiers up to kill them all, there would be no chance of them being spared.
The temperature in the room seemed to drop all of a sudden, and the whole atmosphere became a lot more terrifying.
Empress Dowager He looked at Li Ru, who was so fierce and threatening to kill him if he disagreed with her, she couldn't help but feel panic and confusion in her heart.
She didn't expect that this guy was so impatient. Before he finished speaking a few words and didn't take much time, he was already about to flip over the table.
What should we do if this continues?
If you can't delay enough time and wait for Cao Ang to arrive, then there is really only a dead end.
I don’t know where that little enemy is now. If he doesn’t move faster, he really won’t be able to see his baby Queen Mother!
…
The situation is deadlocked.
When Queen Mother He didn't know how to use words to delay time, a figure who had been leaning beside Liu Bian came out and knelt down on the ground.
It was Tang Ji, Liu Bian's concubine.
Tang Ji was seen kneeling on the ground, with tears in her eyes and a look of sadness on her face, begging Li Ru bitterly.
"I am willing to drink this wine for King Hongnong and the Queen Mother. I only hope that Mr. Li can be noble and spare the lives of his mother and son!"
As soon as this statement came out, several people were a little shocked.
Liu Bian stared blankly at his imperial concubine, with a look of disbelief in his eyes.
As someone who has been with him since he was the prince, Liu Bian can be said to be very familiar with his wife's character.
Warm as water, soft and weak.
He is not very courageous and has no independent opinions. He rarely makes up his mind on one thing and usually follows the arrangements of himself and his mother.
However, such a gentle and weak woman stood up at the critical moment and wanted to die for herself.
How not to shock Liu Bian?
As for Queen Mother He, she was more surprised than shocked.
good!
well done!
Not only did it break the deadlock just now, allowing the current atmosphere to continue, it also successfully delayed time.
No matter how long it can be delayed, even if it is just the time to make a bowl of tea soup, it is extremely precious in this moment of life and death.
Queen Mother He's idea was correct.
Tang Ji's behavior also coincided with her strategy.
It's a pity that Li Ru came here on orders.
He was also busy poisoning these people and then returning to restore Dong Zhuo's life, so he didn't dare to waste too much time.
So faced with Tang Ji's pleading.
Li Ru just snorted coldly, and said in a cold voice with a long face: "What is your identity, and what qualifications do you have to die for them?"
"Besides, what Mr. Dong is saying is that all three of you are going to die, so there's no need to prioritize, just go on the road together!"
Speaking of which.
Li Ru turned his eyes to Queen Mother He and pointed at the poisoned wine on the table.
"Don't waste time, my patience is limited, you will drink first, and then you two will drink again!"
It was obvious that Li Ru had given an ultimatum.
If you try to use ordinary methods to delay time, I'm afraid it won't work.
…
I thought about it for a few seconds.
Queen Mother He finally stood up.
Then he said to Li Ru: "Although I have been deprived of my position as Queen Mother, I was once the mother of the Emperor. Even if I die at the hands of Dong Zhuo now, I still deserve to have dignity and dignity."
"Please forgive me for a moment. After I have packed up, sorted out my descriptions, and put on my crown, I will drink this wine immediately without any further delay!"
The tone is firm and the attitude is decisive.
Li Ru saw the determination to die in Queen Mother He's eyes, and a smile suddenly appeared on her face.
"If you are willing to cooperate, that is of course the best. I am not a cold and heartless person. I can still afford to wait for a while. Please do it, Queen Mother!"
"call!"
After exhaling a breath of turbid air.
Empress Dowager He immediately faced the bronze mirror, slowly put on the crown, and inserted gold hairpins and jade hairpins into her hair one by one.
The movements are slow and leisurely, and the various decorations on the bun are arranged neatly, without even the slightest deviation.
At first Li Ru thought it was nothing.
But the longer I waited, the more I felt something was wrong. There were only so many places in my hair that I could wear a headdress. If it was less, it wouldn’t show my dignity, but if I had more, it would be a burden.
This head is already full of gold and jade hairpins, and if you continue to wear it upwards, it will obviously be unreasonable.
After thinking about it for a while.
Li Ru suddenly became furious.
He picked up the wine bottle and wine glass with both hands, and then kicked the table over with a fierce kick.
"You foolish woman, how dare you deceive me!"
"I thought you were once the Queen Mother. To preserve the dignity of the royal family and save the face of a stupid woman like you, I made an exception and allowed you to wear your clothes."
"Unexpectedly, you are stalling for time here. Are you waiting for someone to save you?"
Speaking of this, Li Ru couldn't help but sneer.
Said with full of sarcasm.
"It is Duke Dong's order to take your lives. If anyone in Luoyang City dares to go against Duke Dong's will, his words will be like God's will!"
"I think you don't have to expect anyone to come to rescue you anymore. If you drink the poisoned wine early, you won't be the emperor or the queen mother in the next life."
With that said, Li Ru was about to give a loud shout, and asked the soldiers guarding below to come in, hold down several people and force them to drink.
However, before he could make any move, there was suddenly a loud noise downstairs.
Then after a shout of curse.
A tall young man passed the guard, climbed up the stairs, and appeared in front of everyone.
This person is Cao Ang who arrived in a hurry!
…
ps. The editor said that the title of my book was just a piece of defense, which brought me to tears. If I didn’t tell me earlier, I had to write for so long despite the defense. Today I spent the whole afternoon thinking hard and changed it to this one.
Brothers, you must know the way, don't get lost!
